The Taconite Capital of the World

Resolution Number 29-12 YMCA Support

WHEREAS, the Mesabi Family YMCA has taken a lead role in responding to and serving the needs of our community’s families and children for more than 28 years;

WHEREAS, the Y is dedicated to providing healthy living, youth development, and socially responsible programming to all, ensuring that no person is turned away for an inability to pay;

WHEREAS, YMCA facilities are no longer adequate in meeting the growing needs of the community today, as membership and program participation grows and the infrastructure ages;

WHEREAS, the Mesabi YMCA Board of Directors has authorized a $1.9 million capital campaign to renovate and expand the facility to ensure that the Y will continue to positively impact the community well in to the future;

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF MOUNTAIN IRON, MINNESOTA that the City of Mountain Iron considers the Mesabi Family YMCA an important asset to our community and supports the Y’s capital campaign efforts.
